Abstract Soil carbon flux rates are a crucial metric of cycling that contribute to calculating an ecosystem's budget, and thus whether it is source or sink atmospheric dioxide. However, soil datasets frequently low‐resolution across either space time, limiting our abilities identify small‐scale ecological contexts influence dynamics. Existing distributed unevenly, with some carbon‐rich regions (like tropical grasslands) significantly understudied. We developed autonomous, inexpensive,...
Wetlands are the largest natural source of methane to atmosphere, but factors controlling emissions from wetlands a major uncertainty in greenhouse gas budgets and projections future climate change. We conducted controlled outdoor mesocosm experiment assess effects plant community structure (functional group richness composition) on potential production iron reduction freshwater emergent marshes. Four functional groups (facultative annuals, obligate reeds, tussocks) were arranged...
